Onto the article...Have you ever woken up with a sore shoulder?
Have you ever overextended your shoulder in a way that you know you shouldn’t have?
Yes and yes for me.
Sore shoulders are all too familiar with me.
I remember when I used to play baseball in high school and I would always throw the ball as hard as I possibly could.
Those overhand throws came with a price even as a young high school kid.
I became acquainted with shoulder problems that MLB players, especially pitchers, were notorious for.
